Welcome to Black and White Wednesday Gallery #102, the weekly presentation of culinary photography presided over by Cinzia of Cindystar. Many thanks to Ci for the opportunity to host this old friend of an event ~ and equal thanks to the food aficionados who shared their beautiful interpretations for all of us to enjoy.

The guidelines for BWW, whether as a host or contributor can be found here. Although most hosting is booked well in advance due to the enduring popularity of the event, there is always a slot here and there for veteran and newcomer alike.

In the coming days, I will be visiting each of your blogs to formally leave comments. In the meantime, Lynne of Cafe Lynnylu is hosting The Halloween Special Gallery #103.

As the originator of this gallery, I have always been blown away by the talent and enthusiasm that my creative idea provoked. As a devotee of black and white photography, it's been very gratifying that my own love of the medium resonated with so many others, as much of a minority as we are. If I only had myself to please without regard to clients, I would exclusively shoot in or process into mono.

That said, when it was time to move on, I carefully considered who would be a good match as mistress for BWW. Ci came early to mind, and I have never regretted her stewardship to keep the standard flying.

It's very easy to participate and/or host BWW. Ci's details here share the what, when, and who. If week of October 23 is still free, I plan on re-upping as host.

I cook and bake in that cute little galley kitchen up there. It's not as tidy as it used to be, and the walls are a deep tagine red now, but it's a cozy, homey space where you are always welcome to drop in. You can reach me at thewellseasonedcook AT yahoo DOT com. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
